    Southwire Cat5e Cable

    Fair reasoning. If I am tucked up under the eaves, away from rain, snow, ice, UV rays, would I fall under the indoor category of cable?

    Southwire Cat5e Cable

    Southwire 500' Cat 5E Indoor/Outdoor Just wondering if anyone has used this specific cable on their installs outdoors? This will not be direct burial and only partially exposed to the elements like under the eaves. I've looked at Truecable and Monoprice and their prices are outrageous. I...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    February 2026... not much activity in this thread in the past year. The size of this camera interests me. Is there a "newer" improved model coming out in 2026? Is this PTZ still recommended or considered a good buy?

    Which nvr??

    Buy from Andy. He will do you right and will answer any questions you have. I've bought 2 NVR's from him and 11 cameras. I have an NVR without the built in POE. I use 2 switches for my needs. One advantage to using external switches is you might encounter a bad POE port on the NVR. It's...

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    Tinkering around with image quality. Is AI SSA recommended or not?? I'm currently on Customized Scene but I could be persuaded one way or another. Settings are largely untouched from default.

    Mini-Review EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-T

    But isn't it odd that in the NVR GUI is still says the System Version is: 3.210.0002.2 and the Build Date is: 07-21-16? So why is it acting weird if its still showing the same information?
